What is a sinus in the skull?
The sinuses are a connected system of hollow cavities in the skull. … Your cheekbones hold your maxillary sinuses (the largest). The low-center of your forehead is where your frontal sinuses are located.
The word “sinus” is most commonly understood to be the paranasal sinuses that are located near the nose and connect to the nasal cavity. There are four paranasal sinuses, each corresponding with the respective bone for which it is named: maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid, and frontal.
Sinuses are air-filled sacs (empty spaces) on either side of the nasal cavity that filter and clean the air breathed through the nose and lighten the bones of the skull. There are four paired sinuses in the head. The most posterior (farthest toward the back of the head) of these is the sphenoid sinus.
sinuses,
frontal bone - two spaces - not symmetrical
maxillary sinus, spenoid
ethmoid
some bones are both membrane and cartilage
petrous part of temporal - (looks like stone) - cartilage - squamous - membrane
The endocranium, the bones supporting the brain (the occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid) are largely formed by endochondral ossification. Thus frontal and parietal bones are purely membranous.
The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and a good deal of the clavicles (collarbones) are formed via intramembranous ossification, while bones at the base of the skull and the long bones form via endochondral ossification.
frontal bone
Metopic suture
unpaired, two halves fuse by 10 - 12 years of age - some people do not fuse - netropic suture - will join two front bones - normally no suture after 12 years,
Metopic Suture: The Metopic suture which runs mid-line of the frontal bone will fuse normally with no skull defect between the ages of three(3) months of age and nine(9) months of age. Sagittal Suture: Full obliteration may never occur. The suture closes sometime between the ages of 30 years old and 40 years old.
frontal - 3 parts
The frontal bone is one of the skull bones enclosing the brain (neurocranium) and it consists of three parts:
the squamous part.
the orbital part.
the nasal part.
ethmoid sinuses - how many?
There are 3 to 4 cells at birth and develop into 10 to 15 by adulthood for a total volume of 2 to 3 mL. They are located between the eyes.
sphenoid
There are four main parts to the sphenoid bone: the body (corpus), the lesser and greater wings (alae minores et majores) and the pterygoid processes.
What are the pterygoid plates?
a : a broad thin plate that forms the lateral part of the pterygoid process and gives attachment to the lateral pterygoid muscle on its lateral surface and to the medial pterygoid muscle on its medial surface. — called also lateral pterygoid plate.
What goes through Pterygoid Canal?
The pterygoid canal, also known as the Vidian canal, is a foramen in the base of skull, located in the sphenoid bone, inferomedial to the foramen rotundum. It transmits the Vidian artery and Vidian nerve from the middle cranial fossa to the pterygopalatine fossa.

Arterial Supply to the Brain. There are two paired arteries which are responsible for the blood supply to the brain; the vertebral arteries, and the internal carotid arteries. These arteries arise in the neck, and ascend to the cranium
What arteries supply blood to the brain?
The brain receives blood from two sources: the internal carotid arteries, which arise at the point in the neck where the common carotid arteries bifurcate, and the vertebral arteries (Figure 1.20). The internal carotid arteries branch to form two major cerebral arteries, the anterior and middle cerebral arteries.

The term LeFort fractures is applied to transverse fractures of the midface. … Le Fort I level fractures are essentially a separation of the hard palate from the upper maxilla due to a transverse fracture running through the maxilla and pterygoid plates at a level just above the floor of the nose
Who was Le Fort?
René Le Fort (1869-1951) was a French army surgeon who conducted a series of thorough, if somewhat macabre, experiments on the heads of cadavers. The results of his work gave rise to a system of classifying facial fractures, now known as Le Fort types I, II and III..

The mandible is marked by two foramina. The mandibular foramen is located on the internal surface of the ramus of the mandible.
What passes through the mental foramen?
The mental foramen is a small foramen on the anterior surface of the mandible, typically adjacent to the root of the mandibular second premolar tooth. … The mental nerve, a terminal branch of inferior alveolar nerve and the mental artery leave the mandibular canal through it.
foramen of chin - “mental” means chin
The mandibular foramen is a bony canal formed within the mandible. This bony canal opens on the inner side of the mandibular ramus. The opening is directly inferior to the mandibular notch and ends at the mental foramen. The foramen follows the shape of the mandible.
The mandibular foramen will house and protect the inferior alveolar nerve. This nerve provides innervation to the gums, dental sockets, and teeth. The inferior alveolar nerve innervates the anterior chin and lower lip via the mental nerve.
mandible fuses by age ?
What does the mandibular nerve do?
2
Motor Functions. The mandibular nerve is the only branch of CN V to conduct motor axons to the muscles of the head and neck. The motor root of the trigeminal nerve joins the sensory component distal to the trigeminal ganglion and distributes its axons to the muscles of mastication: Masseter.
Mandibular fractures
below canine tooth
are typically the result of trauma. This can include a fall onto the chin or a hit from the side. Rarely they may be due to osteonecrosis or tumors in the bone. The most common area of fracture is at the condyle (36%), body (21%), angle (20%) and symphysis (14%).
superciliary arch injury?
What is an orbital floor fracture?
An orbital blowout fracture is a traumatic deformity of the orbital floor or medial wall, typically resulting from impact of a blunt object larger than the orbital aperture, or eye socket. … They can occur with other injuries such as transfacial Le Fort fractures or zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures.

infratemporal fossa and temporal fossa?
What is the temporal fossa?
The temporal fossa is a shallow depression on the side of the skull bounded by the temporal lines and terminating below the level of the zygomatic arch.
Where is the temporalis muscle?
Temporal muscle. The temporalis muscle is a thin, fan-shaped muscle situated within the temporal fossa of the skull. Along with the medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid and masseter muscles, it belongs to the group masticatory muscles.
The infratemporal fossa is a space that exists below the temporal fossa. When seen on the skull without the soft tissues, these two anatomical landmarks can be seen to communicate with one another. The fossa is shaped irregularly and is situated below and medial to the zygomatic arch.

There are four major types of skull fractures, including the following:
Linear skull fractures. This is the most common type of skull fracture. …
Depressed skull fractures. This type of fracture may be seen with or without a cut in the scalp. …
Diastatic skull fractures. …
Basilar skull fracture.
depression, baselar, linera calvarial, comminutes, contrecoup (counterblow)
a coup injury occurs under the site of impact with an object, and a contrecoup injury occurs on the side opposite the area that was hit. Coup and contrecoup injuries are associated with cerebral contusions, a type of traumatic brain injury in which the brain is bruised.

Is the middle meningeal artery an intracranial artery?
The middle meningeal artery is the largest of the three (paired) arteries that supply the meninges, the others being the anterior meningeal artery and the posterior meningeal artery.
through various foramen
maxillary artery
The middle meningeal artery (MMA) normally branches off the maxillary artery, which is an extension of the external carotid artery. The artery will then travel through the foramen spinosum, which is posterolateral from the foramen ovale, to supply blood to the dura mater.
if fractured?
Epidural hematoma is when bleeding occurs between the tough outer membrane covering the brain (dura mater) and the skull. Often there is loss of consciousness following a head injury, a brief regaining of consciousness, and then loss of consciousness again.
epidural hematoma - can die - may have a lucid period, and then die - can happen quickly
How common are epidural hematomas?
Intracranial epidural hematoma occurs in approximately 2% of patients with head injuries and 5–15% of patients with fatal head injuries. Intracranial epidural hematoma is considered to be the most serious complication of head injury, requiring immediate diagnosis and surgical intervention.Jan 9, 2018

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding into the space surrounding the brain. SAH can be caused by a ruptured aneurysm, AVM, or head injury.
bleeds into space where CSF exists - aneurysm - thunderclap headache
A thunderclap headache is an extremely painful headache that comes on suddenly, like a clap of thunder. This type of headache reaches its most intense pain within 1 minute and lasts at least 5 minutes. Thunderclap headaches strike without any warning. Some of these headaches are benign (not dangerous).
cerebral hemorrage
arteries rupture - high blood pressure, can stroke
Cerebral hemorrhage is uncontrolled bleeding in the brain. It can occur from an injury or as a result of a leaky or burst blood vessel. This can happen when a blood vessel gets weakened enough that its wall can no longer withstand the pressure of the blood flowing through it.
cerebral hemorrage
intracerebral hemorhage
arteries rupture - high blood pressure, can stroke
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is caused by bleeding within the brain tissue itself — a life-threatening type of stroke. A stroke occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen and blood supply. ICH is most commonly caused by hypertension, arteriovenous malformations, or head trauma.
